ocaml binary. All the user needs to build LablGTK is the ocaml compiler, plus
the contents of /usr/lib/ocaml. No ocaml source code is required.

So since only ocaml binary is required, and not source, does that satisfy your
concern?

OK, no problem. Just trying to follow the packaging instructions... I would
add, though, that some OCaml executables can be stripped. In the unison and
unison-gtk2 packages, I stripped unison.exe and unison-gtk2.exe, and they
both work fine. Is it the difference between native and bytecode
executables?
